The effect of smoking on lung function changes during a 16-week combined exerci...
Silva, Fernanda M.; Ferreira, José P.; Teixeira, Ana M.; Monteiro, Diogo; Duarte-Mendes, PedroPurpose To investigate the longitudinal changes in lung function of sedentary middle-aged workers over a 16-week combined exercise training program. Methods Thirty-six sedentary workers (53.70 ± 6.92 years old) were randomly allocated to either a combined aerobic and resistance training program (n = 18) or a control group (n = 18). Lung function was evaluated through spirometry using a portable flow spirometer ...
Lesões no boxe em Portugal: análise da incidência, mecanismos, fatores de risco...
SottoMayor, Ricardo; Monteiro, Diogo; Alexandre, Élio; Jacinto, Miguel; Silva, Fernanda M.; Flores, Gonçalo; Travassos, Bruno; Duarte-Mendes, PedroIntrodução: A modalidade do boxe está associada a uma elevada taxa de lesões e traumatismos cranianos graves, onde a cabeça, os ombros, os punhos e as mãos são as regiões do corpo mais afetadas. Objetivos: este estudo teve como objetivos quantificar a incidência de lesões relacionadas com a prática de boxe e a identificação de padrões de lesões e fatores de risco. Além disso, foi analisada a eficácia de medidas...
Effects of a land and aquatic exercise-based program on pain, mobility and qual...
Borges, Joana; Monteiro, Diogo; Silva, Fernanda M.; Jacinto, Miguel; Pastilha, Tiago; Duarte-Mendes, PedroBackground Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a disease with significant functional, emotional and social impact. Several interventions are proposed for its management and exercise is one of main, land-based or water-based. This study describes a randomized controlled trial that will analyze the effect of a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program compared to an aquatic-based program on pain, functional in...

Combined Exercise Training, Body Composition, Glucose and Insulin Metabolism in...
Silva, Fernanda M.; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Teixeira, Ana M.; Farinha, Carlos; Soares, Carlos M.; Ferreira, José PedroSedentary behaviour (SB) and physical inactivity are two major risk factors for obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease development (Davies et al., 2018). Effective stress-reducing interventions, such as regular exercise, are essential to prevent the harmful impact of SB on metabolic outcomes (Pedersen, 2017). We aimed to analyse the effects of a combined training program on bod...

Heart rate variability behavior in athletes after a sports concussion: A system...
Flores, Gonçalo; Monteiro, Diogo; Silva, Fernanda M.; Duarte-Mendes, PedroObjective: This systematic review aims to investigate the adaptations of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) after a concussion by measuring HRV in athletes over the age of 16 after injury. Methods: This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Web of Science, Pubmed, SCOPUS, and Sport Discus were searched using predefined search terms to identif...
The Impact of Aquatic Exercise Programs on the Intima-Media thickness of the Ca...
Farinha, Carlos; Santos, Hélder; Serrano, João; Oliveiros, Bárbara; Silva, Fernanda M.; Cascante-Rusenhack, Márcio; Teixeira, Ana MariaScientific evidence has shown that physical exercise is an effective way of improving several cardiovascular disease markers. However, few studies have tested its effectiveness when performed in aquatic environments. The purpose of this study was to test the impact of different aquatic exercise programs on the intima-media thickness of carotid arteries (IMT) and hemodynamic and biochemical markers of cardiovasc...
Effects of combined training on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and qu...
Ferreira, José Pedro; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Teixeira, Ana M.; Silva, Fernanda M.Both physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are considered modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Adult office-workers spend most of their working day in sedentary behaviors, so they are particularly at high risk of developed chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus, …). It seems important to promote behavioral changes that co...
